I think you shuld get your serum B12 estimation and get a second opinion. GOUT pain is generally short lived but some time if uric acid level keep on fluctuating then it can remain for long time. Also are you eating lot of red meat or seeds vegetables like tomato. Are you drink quite a lot as all these things can prolong your GOUT pain.
